Question for current maintainers: ./README: new release?
Also:
* Moving out eompi & eoserial modules (issue #2).
* Correction of the errors when executing "make doc" command.
* Adding a solution for the conflicting headers problem (see the two CMake Cache
Values: PROJECT_TAG & PROJECT_HRS_INSTALL_SUBPATH) (issue #1)
* Header inclusions:
** src: changing absolute paths into relative paths ('#include <...>' -> '#include "..."')
** test, tutorial: changing relative paths into absolute paths ('#include "..."' -> '#include <...>')
* Moving out some scripts from EDO -> to the root
* Add a new script for compilation and installation (see build_gcc_linux_install)
* Compilation with uBLAS library or EDO module: now ok
* Minor modifications on README & INSTALL files
* Comment eompi failed tests with no end
*** TODO: CPack (debian (DEB) & RedHat (RPM) packages) (issues #6 & #7) ***

@section intro Introduction
|
|
|
|
%EDO is an extension of %EO, that facilitate the design and implementation of
|
|
stochastic search metaheuristics. It is based on the assumption that those
|
|
algorithms are updating a probability distribution, that is used to generate
|
|
a sample (a population, in %EO) of solutions (individuals, in %EO).
|
|
|
|
Basically, EDO decompose the <em>variation</em> operators of %EO in a set of
|
|
sub-operators that are binded by a <em>distribution</em>. Thus, most of the
|
|
representation-independent operators of %EO can be used in %EDO algorithms.
|
|
|
|
Apart from choosing which distribution he want to use as a model, the user is
|
|
not supposed to directly manipulate it. Using the same approach than within %EO,
|
|
the user has just to indicate what he want to use, without having to bother how
|
|
he want to use it.
|
|
|
|
On the designer side, it is still possible to implement specific operators
|
|
without having to change other ones.

|
The two main operators are the <em>Estimators</em>, that builds a given
|
|
distribution according to a population and the <em>Samplers</em> that builds a
|
|
population according to a distribution. There is also <em>Modifiers</em> that
|
|
are here to change arbitrarily the parameters of a distribution, if necessary.
